Within reach of forming a Labor government, the opposition leader has traded his charming firebrand persona for pragmatic centrism
Interviews with friends, colleagues and enemies dating back to his time as president of Young Labor reveal a portrait of a highly ambitious, politically savvy operator who has never lacked self confidence.

“In politics and particularly youth politics some people want to suck up and climb a certain path and others have the intention of making change and are prepared to make choices and sacrifice things. He was on that side,” Tattersal says. “You know, Young Labor. Party officer. Senior adviser to a minister. He’s done all the stops,” the MP said, speaking anonymously.
